Fleshbot’s Friday Five: Bonnie Rotten

Most porn performers spend years hard at work on set, racking up hundreds of scenes, before they're even considered worthy of a Performer of the Year nomination. Bonnie Rotten managed to score, not just a nomination, but the actual award, after just under two years of work in the adult industry. How did she manage such a stunning feat? Let's examine her body of work (and, uh, her body) and see if we can't figure it out.

For the unfamiliar: Bonnie Rotten's a heavily tattooed performer who burst onto the porn scene in early 2012. After putting out a few feelers, she quickly secured a her own big movie (and representation from Mark Spiegler, one of porn's biggest agents). Some may have been shocked by her meteoric rise, but between her unique look and enthusiastic embrace of all things sex (especially anal), she's rapidly accrued an enthusiastic fan base that's fueled her hardcore success. Most inspiringly of all, in spite of her many, many tattoos, she's managed to secure the sorts of roles that have been traditionally unavailable to girls with such extensive body art. Digital Playground, Wicked, Hustler--Bonnie's worked for them all (and not just in "Tattooed Sluts" series--though she doesn't shy away from those films either). But enough back story: let's get to the porn scenes.

Meet Bonnie: New Sensations's "Meet Bonnie" may not have been Ms. Rotten's introduction to the world of porn (she shot a few scenes before this movie was made), but it was her first DVD. Wondering what it takes to go from no name to bona fide porn star that quickly? The contents of "Meet Bonnie" might give you an idea. In just 120 minutes, Bonnie manages to explore anal, lesbian group sex, and double penetration--in addition to a bit of good old fashioned heterosexual intercourse (for those who aren't into any of the fancy stuff). Unlike performers who save the more hardcore sex acts for later in their career, Bonnie was more than happy to jump in head (pussy?) first and make a go of it--and what a go of it she made. It doesn't matter whether she's getting double teamed by Skin Diamond and Asphyxia Noir or taking it up the butt from Mick Blue: as her scenes make clear, she enjoys it all.

Evil Anal 19: Speaking of anal: in an interview with Adult DVD Talk, Bonnie informed us all that getting drilled in the ass is her favorite way to get off. She also told reporters that her "epic" scene in "Evil Anal 19" was her favorite on camera instance of taking it up the butt. What made the scene so good for her? "I love working with Ramon, he's so awesome... I was saying, 'Please let me cum! Please let me cum!' 'NO!' I told him right before the scene, 'Ramon, do not rip my underwear. Do not slap my pussy.' He said, 'OK!' Then we start the scene and first thing he does is he rips my underwear and slaps my pussy! He knows how to get me going!" Sounds like a ringing endorsement to us.

Sexpionage: The Drake Chronicles: Bonnie may be best known for her incredibly aerobic erotic abilities, but that doesn't mean she can't hold her own in a feature. The Wicked spy thriller showcases Bonnie as a devious young lady who's hot enough to get an enemy agent to switch teams. Which, come to think of it, probably didn't take much acting on her part. Also, for those who are wondering: yes, Bonnie does manage to work a bit of anal into the scene.

The Gang Bang of Bonnie Rotten: At this point, you're probably wondering (as we often do) how it is that the men of the porn world manage to refrain themselves from ravishing Bonnie Rotten at every opportunity. As far as we can tell, they don't--because, lucky for them, they don't actually have to. Bonnie's endlessly down for erotic action, as evidenced by her participation in this delicious gang bang. Between Tony De Sergio, Mick Blue, Jordan Ash, and Carlo Carrera, Bonnie got blessed with more dick than any mortal woman could be expected to handle at once--so let's all be grateful that Bonnie's an erotic angel sent down from heaven to fulfill all our dirtiest dreams.

Performers of the Year 2014: Earning the coveted AVN Female Performer of the Year award is one thing--but if you ask us, no porn performer can truly be considered legendary until she's been cast in an edition Elegant Angel's "Performers of the Year"--and not surprisingly, Bonnie secured that honor in 2014 as well. The darling dirty diva is once again paired off with Ramon Nomar, who takes the opportunity to bang her in the butt hole yet again. Hey, when you've found a formula that works, why would you mess with it?
